I am confused -- I thought that camping in an ordinary forest service campground without hookups is called "dry camping," as in "Public Lands, Boondocking and Dry Camping" forum. It's not boondocking, and it's not an RV park. Am I mistaken? (It would not be the first time.)

Dan ... you're right on with drycamping being camping without hookups no matter where. While boondocking means drycamping as far as possible out in the middle of nowhere.
Which raises an interesting question regarding a rare situation - suppose you have a rancher friend who for some reason has a water source and electrical outlet way back in on their 1000 acre ranch out in the middle of nowhere - and invites you to camp and hookup back there. Are you boondocking then, but with hookups?
By the way, I wouldn't call you a Control Freak ... I'd call you a Courtesy Freak.
